Accuracy International AT-X

I'm looking at picking up an ATX chassis. I see the win tactical weights interfere with the knob on the RRS BTC-Pro clamp. How bad is this interference and does anyone have pictures? I am wondering if I can just mill down the weight to make things clear
 
For those of you who have had their comp trigger shit the bed. How long did it take AI to get you another one? Asking for a friend who's rifle has been down for three weeks now......
I haven’t sent mine in yet. I swapped mine to the oem. 3 weeks sucks tho

Is it the OEM AI AT-X trigger with issues?

I’ve sent mine in twice and both times it was 2-3 week round trip. It was from my AT so I was able to swap my OG trigger back in while the comp trigger was gone.

From what I understand the comp trigger that comes in the AT-X is outsourced. Someone else can probably explain in detail. Shit happens but it's how a company responds that matters to me.
It is, but there’s a hell of a lot of people that have killed it. Just not a good design from what I can tell. Sucks when it dies mid match. Hopefully trigger tech or someone else will look into making one.

I also think a vast majority of guys don’t know how to adjust them correctly either.

Day 1 of the Clays Cartridge Company match so yeah

The early ones require more work to take apart to access something simple like the trigger. Makes no sense. These are things that should’ve all been checked with shooters before release 🤦‍♂️ makes me more inclined to use my AI AO instead.
How was your comp trigger adjusted?
I was all set to buy an AT-X but not sure I'm too excited about the comp trigger, I want to buy an AI partly because of reliabilty and having to pay extra to "down grade" the trigger makes me more inclinded to go AT+AO route.

It wasn’t. No adjustments from out the box.
 
I’m sure there are failure cases, just like every other trigger that exists. I’ve personally had a Diamond, 2 BnA, and a Jewell fail… not to mention coutless others I’ve “seen.”

The point is that the comp trigger is made out to be some awful, plague-ridden trigger and it’s simply not the case.

I'm a nobody with zero agenda. Just laying out my experience to this point. Emails ignored and a phone call that went nowhere. Something tells me that Trigger Tech like any other company that gave a shit about their image would have a new trigger in the mail the next day. AI seems to be full of themselves. That's just my simple opinion and you can flame away. I don't give a fuck.

There's a fine line between what you are saying and what is well documented. AFAIK this trigger design has been causing problems for AI since .mil trials back in 2018-19. I would be glad to be corrected on this.
 
I’ve personally seen 8 comp triggers go down in the last 2ish years. 5 were AT-X’s, one was an AX retrofitted with a comp trigger, one was an AT retrofitted with a comp trigger, one was an AXSR, which from the way it adjusts and from what I can see on the outside is a slightly larger comp trigger.

All were failures due to dust/dirt, all were in factory, un-fucked-with configuration when they died, round counts between 100-1000, so not exactly old either.
They all presented themselves with the same symptom(s) of the sear not presenting itself high enough to catch the firing pin & getting stuck in the “fired” position, or having a dead trigger on a cocked bolt.

I haven’t had trouble with the “comp-ish” trigger in my AXSR, and I’m not going to say that those failures are the rule instead of the exception, but the failure rate of AI/XTSP comp triggers is incredibly high compared to anything else I’ve seen on the market, 700 pattern or otherwise.

The same trend has been apparent in the XTSP 700 pattern triggers, so it’s not exactly a surprise this is happening.
 
My Jewel trigger went through 6 barrels, and 7 figure dry fires, it has never let me down, simple lighter fluid flush is all I have ever done to it. Now hearing of factory installed not adjusted in anyway ATX triggers going down leads me to think some sort of maintenance maybe required, my ATX has 200 rounds down it and maybe 1500 dry fires, has anyone tried lighter fluid(Naptha) flush or anything else as a preventative?
 
If anyone wants to swap their Comp trigger for a Standard AI trigger, let me know.
 
It’s not a maintenance issue. My comp trigger was installed without the first stage travel adjustment screw and the over-travel adjustment screw !

I reached out to the manufacturer who promised to send me some spares, I offered to pay too. 6 emails and 7 months later I’ve still not been sent any despite them promising.

AI cannot fail you, you can only fail them

Piss poor QC prior to leaving the factory and WTF customer service is not the same as preventative maintenance.

Hmmmm thanks! Think you have at least a 3/8” gap between the scope and the bridge? I may be finding out how good Mile High’s return policy is or buying a new Spuhr 😅
I'll measure when I get home tomorrow. I'd think they'd exchange it with no issue but idk truthfully.

Is it NF 56mm? If so 1.18 won't clear it.....barley will clear a 50mm at 1.35

May be late to the party, but I sent mine in because it felt like shit on the second stage. A bunch of creep before it broke. I think it took a couple weeks. But my buddy let me borrow his tuned comp trigger in the mean time since he wasn’t using it.
 
Ok since no one replied about actual preventive maintenance on their trigger. I‘ll ask again, has anyone tried to clean there ATX trigger with lighter fluid, or anything else, and what generation is your rifle?

I’ve never cleaned it, gen 1 ATX with a new trigger from the end of last year. I was going to douse it in lighter fluid, but it’s such a pain in the ass to get to, I haven’t done it yet

I’ve got a gen 1 with 4000+ rds on it and I’ve cleaned it with lighter fluid every 500rds or so, quick shot of air, and then a few drops of light oil and it’s ran great.

I’ve got a Gen 1 ATX, the trigger has never been cleaned and it had all kinds of sand/mud in it a couple weeks ago. Took it off and rinsed it out with water and blew air through it. Put a dab of grease on the sear and put it back on.

Never had an issue with mine
 
Just chasing experience from anyone who has an AI and a Badger, could you tell me if the AI Action will drop into a Badger inlet? Reason for this is that McMillan don’t have an AI inlet but do inlet for Badger. Action screws will be irrelevant as it will be glued in 👍🏼

If it were me, I'd start a thread in the Bolt Action Rifles subforum with a title something like "Will an AI action work in a Badger Inlet?". Your question will get much more exposure, and more answers, if done that way.

I highly doubt it. From what I recall there’s been a couple threads of people asking to drop an AI action in a manners etc. And comparing it to the M2013 but the dimensions were different. I could be wrong tho.
 
For anyone looking for one, I misjudged timing of things and ended up with no space in my current safe, so my ATX chassis won’t be getting used anytime soon. If someone is interested in a black chassis, let me know, will be listing it tomorrow.
